Greater Dandenong City Council is asking the community to share their memories of the old Dandenong Oasis and their hopes for the new Dandenong Wellbeing Centre that will open in
2027.
It has launched an online page where people can share photos and comments. Council has also established a giant memory board at Dandenong Oasis to collect stories and photos.
“For nearly half a century, Dandenong Oasis has been more than just a swimming pool,” Mayor Councillor Jim Memeti said.
“Let’s celebrate what we’ve loved about Dandenong Oasis for nearly 50 years and call out what we’re looking forward to in the new Wellbeing Centre, due to open in 2027.”
Dandenong Oasis first opened its doors in 1976, and has been a place where families gathered, children took their first nervous strokes in swimming lessons, and where lifelong friendships have formed in the warmth of the spa and hustle of the gym.
“Generations of locals have splashed through the Oasis’ waters and now we prepare for an exciting new chapter with the construction of the Dandenong Wellbeing Centre.”
The new Dandenong Wellbeing Centre will replace the ageing Dandenong Oasis and aligns with Council’s vision of getting “more people more active, more often”. It represents a once in-a-generation investment in community health and wellbeing.
